I realize that this is not strange at all!
I AM a trilingual
Now, I do reason, analyze, and express myself more in English and Mandarin (sometimes I use Spanish as well, I do, but maybe just not as much as the former two mentioned above)
But I ACTUALLY “FEEL” more in Spanish!
I feel safer and have more “at home” feeling while listening to Spanish music.
My history is like this, I had lived in Latin America for 12 entire years. My family speak Mandarin. But I studied in an American School since eighth grade. In class, I use English. We learned everything from school in English, we learned to do research with English, we debated at school in English, and I complained with teachers in English… So all da reasoning part, I tend to use English.
Oh! I reason with my parents too! And da ppl from “my own” country all use Mandarin. So I do explain myself in Mandarin as well.
However, Spanish was the language in which my maids used with me… and da ppl on the streets (salers, etc.) talked with me those 12 yrs in my developmental yrs.
I feel more like “home” in those Latin American countries, and I heard Spanish music everywhere while lived there. So now I am a young adult now, back to my parents country, I still “feel” in Spanish and only Spanish music will make me feel “at home”
(More homey, I mean. Like da songs from my homeland sort of feeling)
